by the sea

I thrifted a stack of magazines at the op-shop this week, which included Nylon, Frankie, Oyster, and Russh. Being a fan of pretty mags (what can I say; I like pretty pictures), and being too cheap to buy any new ones, I grabbed them ASAP. They're all fairly new too! So they must've been donated very recently.
Funnily enough, I noticed most of them had editorials with photographs by the sea. Here are a few I thought I'd share with you. I found it interesting comparing each magazine's different take on a similar theme. From Frankie's lush summer days, Nylon's chilly breezes, to Oyster's stranded-on-a-beach glam. Sorry the scans aren't that great, my scanner distorts the colours a little.

Frankie, Jan/Feb 2009


Nylon, Jan 2009


Oyster, issue 80

You have a good shop there Anna! I have the hardest time finding magazines around here? I love your scans also, it give the photographs a great vintage look. I also very much like your comparisons. Such distinct styles.

Love all these photos and what a score on those magazines! Thrifting magazines is awesome because they are usually super cheap but I've never come across a batch this good!

lyptis said...

Ouh, they are lovely, what a great find!

The scanning makes them a bit old school looking, i like that.(i dont know how they looked before tho..)

Anyways, love ur new blog banner, hadnt seen it before!:)

Isabelle said...

Ohh I completely adore NYLON's photoshoot. I like it so much, I have never really thought of looking for pretty magazines second hand ( I like pretty pictures too ! :) ) that's something I'll have to look out for in my local town ! :D

Mags can be pretty expensive new. But they're my addiction and I spend too much money on so many of them a month. I have that issue of Frankie. It's definitely a gorgeous editorial. It's just a square in the middle of a white A4 page, right? I loved the simplicity of the framing.
